Dear Cabal design team, I see that the license field in the package descriptions must be one of the following values: GPL, LGPL, BSD3, BSD4, PublicDomain, AllrightReserved or OtherLicense. Can (should?) we add the "WxWidgets" license? (essentially L-GPL but allows commercial use). -- Daan

The license field is just a guide, and only has a few widely used ones. You could use OtherLicense and supply a value for the license-file field.

Ok, I think I'll just put "wxWidgets license" in the license-file field (or maybe a hyperlink). Thanks, -- Daan.

The contents of that field should be the name (relative to the package root) of a file containing the licence text. Perhaps at some point Hackage will generate a hyperlink to the text.
